Texas Tech is alerting students about two incidents of indecent exposure on campus after a man exposed his genitals to women studying in the library.

An officer was dispatched to the Texas Tech University Library on Wednesday after a female student reported she was sitting in a study carrel on the first floor stack-level of the library about 4:30 p.m., when she observed a male standing in between two aisles of books while intentionally exposing his genitals, according to a campus crime alert notification.

"The student was alarmed and offended by the male's behavior and quickly fled the area," according to the report.

Police searched the library but did not find the suspect, who is described as a black male, about 6 feet tall with average build and short hair. In both incidences, the suspect was described as wearing a red T-shirt and dark pants.

The first incident occurred about 4:45 p.m. Oct. 10, when a female student reported she was sitting in a closed study carrel on the second floor stack level of the library when a black male knocked on the door.

The student reported looking out the window of the closed door and observing a man who was standing outside while intentionally exposing his genitals, according to the report.

The student called a friend who responded to the location with library staff, but by that time the male had already left the area. Police also searched the area, but did not find the suspect.

Anyone who has experienced or witnessed similar incidences or who can identify the suspect is encouraged to contact the Texas Tech Police Department's non-emergency line at 742-3931 or 743-2000.
